Strigoi

"'Strigoi are dangerous. Unpredictable. They'll suck your blood and rip your heart out. I think Lu might've skimped on the self control when he and Lilith were making them.' - Martin."Strigoi are a race of vampiric creatures that appear frequently throughout the series.

History
Lucifer and Lilith, the king and queen of Hell, had created the Succubi and longed for more dark warriors. They kidnapped a large group of vampires and began breeding them with Succubi, thus creating the Strigoi. The Strigoi proved more powerful than vampires and quickly slaughtered them all, becoming the dominant vampiric species.

Happy with their creation, the two freed the Strigoi upon the New World.
